This Indigo plugin provides a basic interface to pmset for monitoring power settings, battery levels and supply status. The devices allow a user to trigger on power failures / restoration, battery levels, etc.
You can run the command pmset -g batt to see the data used by this plugin.
Update intervals in the plugin config are used to define how frequently power information should be collected.
The plugin will update device states depending on the current power status. If any batteries are below the critical threshold, the plugin will use the "critical update interval" to refresh device states. Otherwise, the "standard update interval" will be used.
This plugin does not automatically create devices. Instead, create the devices for any of the batteries or power supplies you wish to monitor. These device types are explained below.
In the future, I'll add a menu option to generate devices.
Represents the main power supply for the computer.
Represents a battery known to the computer. The plugin will automatically detect the available batteries and present them to the user.
This plugin does not provide any triggers or actions. Instead, by creating devices to represent batteries and power supplies, you can use any trigger or action in Indigo with the Power Source device states.
